A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm looking for a self hosted dashboard to monitor various services and logs for multiple servers. A quick search turned up cockpit, but I was curious if anyone had thoughts about it, or if there were better alternatives.

I love cockpit but it is very basic and not really a glass pane solution. You can add multiple hosts but you can only view them one at a time. I personally like it because of the 3rd party zfs and filesharing addons made by 45drives. The logs work great on distributions that natively come packaged with cockpit like fedora or rocky linux but not so great on debian. All in all if all you need is just a basic web gui to manage basic things then cockpit is perfect.
